Standardized American English vs. Ebonics
Advocates of Standard American English seek to promote its use in education and formal settings, driven by the belief that it enhances economic opportunities and social mobility. This clashes with proponents of Ebonics, who advocate for its recognition as a distinct dialect with its own linguistic rules and cultural significance, seeking linguistic justice and cultural preservation.
African American Vernacular English (AAVE) possesses a systematic grammatical feature called the 'habitual be,' where the invariant use of 'be' (e.g., 'She be working') specifically indicates that an action occurs repeatedly or habitually, a concept that requires adverbs in Standard American English.
